For Emacs 26, I intend the new ELPA process to be in place, whereby "default"
packages can be developed separately, and declare a way to get slip-streamed
into the release tarball so users are unaware of the separate nature of their
development.
The CEDET developers have agreed to support this, and it sounds like you are
willing to as well. If Lars is game, I'd like for Gnus to be third major
package we do this for initially. That will reduce considerably the number of
external files we track in Emacs.git.
The precise technical details have yet to be worked out, but it shouldn't be
too difficult. Phillip Lord has already began advance work on alternatives,
and I've received offers of help from others to work on this new process.
I think now is a good time to begin. The first step is to solidify what is
meant by "tarball EPLA", and the means of slip-streaming a package's contents.
This will require at least two bits:
- Some form of declaration to indicate how external files should appear in
the tarball. In order for the first version of this scheme to be as low
impact as possible, this should probably be done with a sexp in a data
file, to be checked in alongside the EPLA.git import of the project.
- changes to "make dist" to integrate these files, and setup autoloading so
their inclusion is transparent to end users.
Please comment with your recommendations for the first, and supporting changes
for the second, if anyone has ideas. Phillip, how is your work on these coming
along?
